Are apples good for weight loss?+
Yes. Apples have very low calorie density (52 kcal/100g), high water content, and significant pectin fibre that slows gastric emptying. Studies show eating an apple before a meal reduces overall calorie intake. They are one of the best snacks for weight management.
How much sugar is in an apple?+
A medium apple contains around 19g of naturally occurring sugar (fructose, glucose, and sucrose). Despite this, apples have a low glycaemic index of 36 because the fibre and cellular structure slow sugar absorption, preventing blood sugar spikes.
